What is the IWL Conference?

The IWL Women’s Leadership Conference is an experience. It is designed to address the needs of every individual – at any level of leadership to help you build new skills, open your mind to different perspectives and make lasting connections.

This conference is unlike the others that you have attended, because it is about you. You will walk away with something tangible, something real to take back to your life – personal or professional – to make you a better version of yourself.

The Louisville 2017 IWL Conference will be a Louisville event, with local leaders and sponsoring companies. The topics discussed will cover issues that are relevant to the business community in your state, your companies and your leaders and relate to this year’s theme – I Got This!

It is important for women to step outside their comfort zone, stretch their thinking, have important career conversations, advocate for their own advancement and understand themselves to elevate their career success. This is your chance to do that. We hope to see you there.

Conference Theme

The theme for this year’s Conference is – I Got This! Olympic gold medalist Laurie Hernandez inspired us with her positive self-talk during the Rio summer games, and provided us with an affirmation we can all stand behind. See more about our inspiration here.

Just like Laurie, we can also use this self-talk to tell ourselves we have the confidence to make our dreams a reality and tell others we can handle what is given to us. At this year’s conference, we will challenge you to ask yourself: what do you feel when you say “I Got This” – is it confidence, control, certainty, boldness, power or something else entirely? This feeling – whatever it is for you – can become your personal affirmation that you can make your own. At times, you will need an internal pep talk with yourself to overcome the objections and/or obstacles in your path and when you leave the 2017 IWL Conference, you will have the toolkit to take control of your future and let the world know – I Got This!
